The Mercy Seat (Exodus 25: 17-22)

God said unto Moses

Upon Mount Sinai

You shall make a mercy seat

And make it from pure gold

You shall make two cherubim

Of solid hammered gold

They shall sit at either end

Be one piece overall.

 

For they shall be of one piece

As they spread their wings above

Covering the mercy seat

And facing each other

Looking down toward

The mercy seat where you shall put

The mercy seat upon the ark

The ark of testimony.

 

In the ark you shall put

The testimony that I will give you.

 

There I will meet with you

And from above the mercy seat

From between the two cherubim

That are upon the ark of the testimony

I will speak intimately with you

Of all which I will give you

In commandment to the Israelites.
